Structural Collapse Technician Training – Ver. 3.1 Module : 2b Constructing Shoring Systems Jul12
Terminal Objectives • The Student shall learn how to maintain the integrity of all structurally unstable elements • The Student shall learn how to properly transmit or redirect the collapse loads to stable ground or other suitable structural elements capable of handling the additional loads
Enabling Objectives • Have a basic understanding of how to conduct a proper shoring size-up • Be able to identify locations for proper shoring placement • Understand the shoring team concept and identify positions & purpose • Understand the different types of shoring components and equipment
Shoring Size-up - 1 • Identify structural hazards, damage and potential victim locations • Determine best method to mitigate the hazard and damage • Determine the type & placement of shoring systems in relation to structural hazards and potential victim location
Shoring Size-up - 2 • Performed by at least a structural specialist, rescue team manager and / or a rescue squad officer • It must be extensive, accurate and continue throughout the rescue operation
Size-up Considerations • VICTIMS • SIX SIDED APPROACH • STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS • AGE & CONDITON OF STRUCTURE • COLLAPSE WARNING SIGNS
Shoring Placement • Where to place US&R Shoring • Support unstable Structural Elements • Under Debris Pile • Under Victim Location Support Fl Beam, so it can provide lateral support for column
Shoring Sequence • Sequence • Shore from Outside - In • Shore for Team access & egress • Phased approach – Class 1, 2 & 3 • Spot shore - Class 1 T, but Dbl T is better • 2 Dimensional - Class 2 2 or more Post Vertical • 3 Dimensional - Class 3 Laced Post, Sloped Floor
Support wood roof & floor w/ aligned shores Horizontal Shoring in access corridor
Shore at Missing Structural Supports • Walls • Beams • Columns • Girders • Arches

Use of Gusset Plates in Vertical Shoring • Gussets are placed on one side at post to header for 4x4 & 6x6 headers at the inner posts • At the end posts, the 2x6 diagonal on one side replaces the need for a gusset plate • When headers are deeper than 4", gussets are needed both sides to prevent header roll-over • Gussets should be used on both sides of posts at sole, in order to keep wedges in place • For wood floor/roof support, 1-sided connections may be used, where displacement of shore caused by lateral loads, vibrations, or shifting is unlikely • Gussets may be made from 5/8"or 3/4"plywood • OSB of same thickness may also be used
Shoring Nails – Repeated from previous • For best results, nails should not split the wood • Use Pasload &/or Senco Nail Guns & Palm Nailers • 16d common duplex may only be used in training • Recommended Nails • For Plywood – 8d Common, Coated (.131 x 2.5") • For 2x – 16d Sinkers/Coolers (.148 x 3.25 coated) (same as 12d common nails) • If only have 16d Box nails (.135 x 3.5) – O.K. except add 3-nails in raker cleats • Nail Heads for Nail Guns • Full (offset) heads are preferred • Clip Headed nail are OK for 2x and 5/8", 3/4" Ply • V-cut heads are least desirable – Not Recommended
How to construct Vertical Shores • T-shore • Dbl-T shore • Vertical Shore • Laced Post Shore (LP) • Plywood Laced Post Shores (PLP) • Sloped Floor Shores • Window & Door Shores
